This is a blog about slightly safer motorcycling. Bikesafer.com is a collection of links for the practical biker focused on motorcycle safety. It looks at riding risks as a hierarchy, with graphic tools and hundreds of sensibly linked articles on bike safety.

Bikesafer.com submitted a Freedom of Information Act request back in December 2009, seeking information on the Westat contract. We asked for the schedule of work, which includes the Pilot Study completed in March 2009, systems and methodology development and researcher training. It can be downloaded here.

We are also looking forward to the publication of the Pilot Study Technical Report by May 1st on the NHTSA website.

We've jammed out this just as soon as we could get it scanned. We are studying it very closely and expect to be able to hook it up with out other information to shed some light on the issues with the study.
